King's Ransom

Audiobook Výkupné za krále (A King's Ransom), author Jan Bauer, read by Petr Štěpán, directed by Ondřej Černý. Magistrate Jakub Protiva and Monk Blasius #5 Bohemia is in exceptional turmoil. The Czech lords have captured King Wenceslas and are holding him prisoner in an unknown location. Magistrate Jakub Protiva of Protivec has his hands full with a gang of extortionists and arsonists terrorising the entire New Town of Prague. To make matters worse, someone has stolen a unique monastic treasure from the Augustinians in Karlov and vanished with it without a trace. The desperate magistrate is already considering resigning from his office and returning to his family's fortress in southern Bohemia. Especially since his friend, Monk Blasius, refuses to help, instead sitting in the Black Brewery in the Cattle Market, downing one beer after another.
